A/N: Thank you for the kind reviews on this story. It is actually my favorite to write as it embodies on the reality and fiction of someone whose been in Roman's shoes. I am thinking of making this a pretty long story or a series of some sort, but that is up to you if you want that. Anyways, here is some rough stuff coming that needs to be dealt with, so hold on to your hats!

Two weeks later:

"It's pretty out here today." Roman said as he takes a bite of his sandwich. Roman found that being outside for a couple of hours felt good. It gave him the sense of freedom that he had been denied growing up and even here at the psych ward. The past two weeks has really gave him the peace he didn't know was missing. Felt nice to be outside, eating lunch and just enjoying the scenery around him. It really did help him relax more and he's even been sleeping better than he has in a long time. He really owes Dean and Charlotte for helping him…especially Dean. "Thank you for letting me eat out here again. I know it's a pain at times."

Dean wipes his mouth as he finishes his apple. "Hey", he said softly, "It's no pain honestly, as long as you are comfortable and relaxed, it's all good. Besides, it's nice to take a break from being inside, it gets to be a drag at times being in there…" he said as he chuckles.

Roman smiles as Dean puts his napkin down. He knows they can get in trouble, but Roman leans over and places a quick kiss on Dean's lips. He quickly sits back and looks down, trying not to blush so much. He realizes that kissing Dean was okay, but it still scared him. He always knew he liked boys, but he never told anyone in fear of it getting back to his so called parents. But they somehow knew anyways from the trauma he went through, especially with AJ's friends.

Dean smiles at Roman's little quirkiness. He always liked the kisses from Roman, but he also knows that they have to be careful, especially with Dean on the clock, he won't get in trouble, per say, but nurse/patient relationships are frowned upon as the board feels the patients gets taken advantage of. This is why Dean lets Roman makes the moves, to not only make Roman feel wanted, but to feel comfortable as well.

"Don't be so shy, I look forward to the kisses I get from you, whether they are quick kisses or long ones, I treasure them each and every time." He says as he softly puts his hand on Roman's and squeezes it for assurances. "They make my day honestly."

Roman looks up and side smiles a bit. "Yeah, but don't want you to get in trouble though."

"It's worth it though," he said as Roman looks at him hestitanly, "and no worries, it's okay as long as it's out of the way of others. But it's okay."

Roman nods as he sits up a bit more and eats his chips. "Thank you, I like kissing you…." He blushed again as he swallows a gulp of tea that was in front of him. "Makes my day too…" he whispers.

Dean smiles as he slides a bit closer and puts his arms around Roman. He leans in as a result as Dean softly kisses the top of Roman's head and then slowly down to his lips for a quick peck back. "I'm glad…" he says as he hugs him again.

Roman has certainly come along ways from the last few months since Dean brought him his first journal. And with Roman turning 21 soon, he knows that he needs to not only celebrate with a party of some sort, but he also has to have Roman faced the three people that made his life a living hell, his parents and brother. With Roman turning 21, he has the total rights to his trust fund, (or two that Dean found out about, one from his parents, and the other from his grandparents he never knew), and he has to get his parents to sign over those accounts before cutting ties for good. That was part of the agreement when Roman was sent away. He was to get total control over his money and to literally sign an emancipation to no longer be a part of that family.

Problem is, he isn't sure how to tell Roman that he has to meet his parents in a couple of weeks to start the paperwork and get it done. And the last time he saw his parents, he isn't sure how this will play out. He doesn't want to see Roman withdrawn again after seeing so much progress with him. He is finally starting to opening up a bit more, he starting to look and feel better despite what he went through, but he also knows that if this doesn't end, it will always be there in his head. He knows Roman needs the closure in order to start fully healing, otherwise, it will haunt him.

"Are you ready to play a game or do you want to walk around a bit before heading back in?" Dean asked as he breaks the hold and gets up to throw away the leftover lunch garbage.

"I would like to walk if that is okay.." he answered as he helps throw away his garbage. "I like feeling the sunshine on my face now."

Dean nods and smiles, "Okay, we can walk for a bit, maybe we can even take the trail along the creek so you can maybe throw rocks into the water?"

"Sounds nice…" he said as he takes Dean's hand into his and smiles as they both walk out of the gazebo and towards the creek.

Dean brought Roman back to his room for some quiet time as he makes his rounds to his other patients. As much as he loves spending time with him, he knows that he has to make sure others are taken care of. His newest one, some guy named Jacob, was making some noise.

"Hey Jacob, gotta calm down some dude, otherwise, you go into the White Room again." He said calmly.

"But I don't want to sit next to Johnny! He irriates me!" he said loudly as he points to an imaginary person that is supposedly sitting next to him.

"Well, maybe if you ask him NICELY to move, maybe he will listen instead of shouting all the time."

Jacob looks down in shame, "Okay…" he mumbles, "Johnny, will you please move to another table, I would like to be alone today…."

Dean stands there and watches him and an empty chair beside him. After a couple of minutes, Jacob looks up and smiles.

"I guess he moved?" Dean asked.

"Yes he did, thank you.."

"Just gotta start being nice is all…to everybody, okay?"

"Okay…"

Dean nods as he continues to check on others. All in all, it was pretty much a normal day.

"I'm not sure how to even approach him about seeing his parents again. They should be serving jail time for what they did to him…." Dean said as he sighs. He was sitting with Charlotte and Baron on a quick break before making their final rounds for the evening.

"True, but believe me, they are suffering for what Roman did to AJ…remember that." She said as she flips through Roman's files. AJ has a life time of medical problems. Truthfully, he got of easy compared to what Roman should have done. But I'm glad he didn't kill them, although he may have gotten away with hit if he did."

"Yeah," he sighs again, "I know, just I don't know if seeing them will set back any progress he's made in the last few months, and with his birthday a few weeks away,"

"I know, but we have to do what the court wants done. And to be honest, the sooner he does this, the sooner he can get away from the for good. And once this happens, they will have no contact with him nor will they be able to get his money."

"Just how much is his trust fund? And why would they want to take away the money THEY set up for him in the first place?" he wondered as he looks at the paper Charlotte gave him.

They number his saw made his eyes wide.

"He's….worth that much?"

"Yes he is, and to answer your question as to why, I don't know, nor do I care. All I want for Roman is to get better to where he can function on his own once he gets out in a couple of years. I have already seen such a huge amount of positive things done with him."

"I know, but damn…even his grandparents gave him that much money?"

"Dean…" Baron said as he spoke up, "you have got to understand, his grandparents ones one of the biggest hotel chains in the world. His grandpa died when Roman was 2 months old, and his grandmother died a year later. His parents only found out about this when he was 15 years old. And trust me, they is what heightened their abuse towards him more. Once they found out how much they left behind to him and not to AJ, they were livid, especially since it was his dad's dad. They left them nothing but Roman."

Dean leans back and rubs his face over what he was just told. It never crosses his mind that he would be worth that much money.

"Yeah, but one billion dollars? I mean, he's practically a billionaire just off of them alone. And his parents left him another ten million on top of that."

"Yes, and that is why I hired Naomi's firm to make sure that that money stays where it belongs. In stocks and safety deposit boxes. She is a hellva attorney who specializes in stuff like this. And she is not to be messed with. Trust me, Roman's parents don't have a leg to stand on. With them pretty much broke, they are looking for loopholes to claim the money and so far, they haven't found any and Naomi's firm has made sure that only Roman will be the one who touches the money. That is why you need to talk him into seeing them in two weeks to get the paperwork started and once he turns 21 the following week, they are cut off for good and he doesn't have to ever see them again. This will also be a way for him to get the closure he needs to move on for good."

Dean stares at Baron, he doesn't even know what to say at the moment.

"Hey," Baron said as he leans over the table a bit, "I know you care about Roman a lot, but his health is more important. We have to approach this with caution because I don't want to see him backtrack to how he was months ago. He trusts you now, and I know you feel that you will lose it, but trust me, you won't. You just have to make him see that this will be over if he lets it. It's up to him."

Dean sighs as he looks at both Baron and Charlotte, "okay…" he said in defeat, "I will do it, but I can't guarantee its gonna go well for him though."

"I know," Charlotte said softly, "but let him know that he won't be alone either, that he does have people on is side."

Dean smiles that didn't match his face, but he nods as he gets up and heads out. Both Baron and Charlotte looks at each other, hoping it doesn't truly backfire.

Dean had about 30 minutes left of his shift so he decided to pay Roman a visit to tell him what he dreaded most to do, to get him to face his parents once and for all.

He knocks on Roman's door before entering in. He sees Roman looking up from one of the books he's been reading and smiles softly at him. He takes a deep breath before closing in.

Immeditately, Roman senses something is wrong.

"Dean," he asked as he sets the book down, "you okay?"

Dean smiles sadly as he walks over and sits down at the chair that is beside his bed. "Yeah, I'm okay, but I am not sure how to tell you this though." He responded as he rubs his neck back and forth.

"You're leaving me?" he whispered as Dean looked at those scared eyes.

"No…no…I'm not leaving Roman…I promise, but you aren't gonna like what I have to say though."

Roman sighs a relief but then holds his breath again. "Tell me…." He squeaks out.

Dean takes one more deep breath, "Okay, here it goes," he said as he takes Roman's hands into his, to try and calm him for what he is about to say. "In two weeks, your so called parents will be here to face you."

"NO!" he yelled as he takes his hands away from Dean, which hurt him, but he knew this was what was going to happen. "I don't want to see them!"

"Roman," he pleaded calmly, "You have to, there are papers for you to sign that will make them completely disappear from your life for good."

Roman pushes himself further into the corner of his bed, away from the touches of Dean. "Please, this will be the last time you will ever have to see them or AJ."

"Why….why do they want to hurt me again?" he whimpered as the fights the tears from falling.

"No…no Roman, they aren't gonna ever hurt you again, me and two other people will be with you when they come so you are never gonna be alone...ever. But please do this, and then you can say whatever you want to say to them, and they can never contact you again after this."

Roman looks at Dean through tear rimmed eyes. Dean can see he is battling the decision with his mind.

"Please do it for you Roman, don't let them win this final battle. Please…."

After a few minutes, Roman breaks down with his knees to his chest and his arms wrapped around them.

"I'm so scared…." He said as Dean sat beside him and wrapped his arms around him to show that he will protect him at all cost.

Roman cried harder as he clung onto Dean for dear life. Dean knows that this battle has taken its toll on Roman, but he also knows that in order to move on for good, he has to faced them one last time.

"I know you're scared, but you aren't alone Roman….remember that….don't let them win."

Next chapter will be very heavy, so tissues will be needed and you have been forwarned. Thank you.
